6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is usually safe. It’s a mild ingredient that helps water and oil mix in creams and cleansers. Overall risks like cancer or lasting health problems are low, and irritation is uncommon.
Use products made for babies that list this ingredient rather than DIY mixes. Before using a new product, put a little on the inner forearm of your baby and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Don’t use it on broken or irritated skin. If the product is meant for the face, keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If redness, swelling, stinging, or a rash appears, stop use and talk to your child’s doctor.
A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) says the evidence about skin/eye/lung irritation hasn’t been fully assessed, so irritation is a possible concern even if uncommon. Also, some product-verification programs require companies to show safety data before using this ingredient — that means manufacturers should have data, but you may prefer products explicitly made and tested for infants. Watch for any redness, persistent dryness, or new rashes after use and avoid using on broken skin.
